~ Carolyn’s 2007 Resolutions ~

Ok, so resolutions may be trite and out-dated. But there is obviously something to the feelings of rebirth we get each year that makes us want to make a change. This year I thought I would actually take pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and document my resolutions. Now, you must admit, this is brave. Not only will the world know what makes me feel inadequate, but I will have it all down in black and white to look back on and (hopefully) see the progress I have made.
In no particular order.....
- Value my health and make changes to improve it
- Target only myself with my own criticism (!!!)
- Exude nothing but the most profound patience
- Cherish the homeschooling journey
- Visit my grandmother at least once a month
- Spend no more than 1 hour per day on the computer (turn it OFF during down times)
- Go to bed by 11 pm (!) and wake up by 7 am (!)
- Treat those I love the most the best (why are we so polite to strangers and snap at our kids?)
- Maintain a writing journal and add to it at least twice a week
- Wait at least 12 hours before responding to an inflammatory email or post
- Locate a safe local restaurant for our family to enjoy outings in occassionally
- Read at least one work of fiction a month ~ just for fun
That's it for now. I may add to it later. I want to try and focus on being a person *I* would be proud to know.
